Wrapper: SJ ‘15?…. ????
Mark Turner’s Comments: The SJ is Shuang Jiang, but that's an informed guess on my part. It was a bag of tea that I picked up somewhere and was never very clear about its origins.
Addendum: After the wrapper reveal I was wondering if it was Shuang Jiang but didn’t really match my experience that I had previously with the area.
Peace
